I don't know. Maybe it's different according to where you show or maybe the rules just aren't enforced here. I also show call ducks and one of my hens has won BV at an ABA show with no legband. I have seen some birds showing with the metal close end bands, but very few. 99% of them have the...
I've been showing oegb for a couple of years and have earned points. You don't have to have bands. Some people who have a lot of birds do band in order to tell them apart. I've mostly seen the colored spiral bands used. I've accumulated enough birds now that I'm going to have to start banding...

You can go to bantamclub.com then go to photos and then click on American and old english game bantams. I think most varieties are pictured.. Also on the Ideal Hatchery site you can see pictures of a huge list of varieties although they are drawings rather than photos.
